Brief summary
This study aims to investigate whether the expression levels of microRNA (miRNA) in endometrial tissue and blood samples at various time points after ovulation can serve as biomarkers for assessing endometrial receptivity.
Interventions
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
